Ultra Series Notch Filters from Alluxa allow for deep blocking, tight wavelength control, steep edges, and wide-range transmission for precision blocking of lasers or other light sources, without sacrificing the quality of target signals.
Ultra Series Notch Filters from Alluxa allow for deep blocking, tight wavelength control, steep edges, and wide-range transmission for precision blocking of lasers or other light sources, without sacrificing the quality of target signals.
Each hard-coated ULTRA Series optical notch filter is designed and rigorously tested to exceed the the most advanced system requirements. They are all ideal for use in applications such as fluorescence microscopy, endoscopy, and DNA sequencing.
ULTRA Series notch filters can also be custom designed with extremely steep edges for use in Raman spectroscopy applications. In some Raman applications, notch filters are used to block the excitation laser wavelength while simultaneously transmitting both Stokes and anti-Stokes signals to the detector. If the notch edges are not steep enough, then the signals close to the laser wavelength will be lost.
ULTRA Series multi-notch filters can be designed with greater than OD8 blocking between bands, steep edges, and up to 98% transmission. They are perfect for applications that require simultaneous blocking of multiple laser lines.
Depending on the wavelength ranges and requirements of your system, ULTRA Series notch filters can be custom designed to meet one or more of the following challenging specifications:
Up to OD8 precision blocking by design
Up to 99% transmission
Notch CWL at any wavelength from the UV to the mid IR (~250 nm to 6.2 µm)
Tolerances as tight as 0.25% of notch CWL
TWE as low as 0.01 wave RMS / inch measured at 632.8 nm
fluorescence microscopy
endoscopy
DNA sequencing
Raman spectroscopy
